The Tractor sitting next to the barn looks great

Parking it inside would really limit one's ability to see how impressive Bessie, I mean your tractor, truly is. I agree that Boomer is really a great channel to watch, so much can be learned from him.

Don't forget the coffee can to cover the stack when parked outside.

Lol that is so iconically true. I will have to see what I can find.

My uncles always shelled out for the little flip up cap that would be blown open when the engine was running and close when you shut it off. Saved messing with the coffee can.

@thomasdecker7631 I don't think my grandpa bought any new. Some had the cap some didn't. It's funny how people improvise.

Grew up with the Ford 8N and 9Ns always a coffee can or old gallon galvanized bucket over the stack. Most of our Ford's had the grill guard and had a couple of chains hanging on it.

Your farm scene is coming along great, and that tractor is a nice addition.

The Farmall Super M-TA is my favorite antique tractor. Thanks, Ron. It looks great.

Your tractor addition will definitely give added dimension to the layout. It reminds me of the “Tractor Mac” book series I read to my grandchildren. What’s not to like? Keep it coming!

Nicely done Ron. I especially like the tips for painting the tractor.

@pacificcoastminiatures 10 ай бұрын

You can also use a toothpick for applying small drops of paint - such as the rims you mentioned.

Excellent video Ron. FYI: you can get from a metal special adhesive (LB10) from Guoelephant that is fantastic for metal to metal. I am using it to actually glue ferrous metal and brass wire and rod for trolley pole arms and catenary wire on my Nscale layout with fantastic results. Thanks for all your videos! Scott

Nice video. GHQ makes some awesome little kits. One suggestion on painting tires. Testors makes a flat rubber paint that really looks good on tires, if you don't mind using enamel

@bradscherer5268 10 ай бұрын

@ 11:11 in the video Ron, you show the tractor placed outside your barn. However, it looks as if the tractor is taller than the barn door (of course, maybe this is an artifact of the angle in your video). If so, I'd recommend placing the tractor outside the barn, and not near the door so as to not give away that the tractor is taller than the barn door (assuming, of course, that the tractor is taller than the barn door). If that makes any sense ... Very nice video and great modeling! Appreciate your sharing how you're modeling this scene with us!

@RonsTrainsNThings 10 ай бұрын

That was partially a video angle issue,but the tractor is larger in the door than it should be. I am thinking outside now that I've played with it a bit.

@thomasdecker7631 10 ай бұрын

I've had this kit (HO scale version) kicking around for a while now and haven't gotten around to building it yet, so your tutorial was much appreciated. It should be noted that this kit could credibly represent any Farmall M or Super M as well as the Super M-TA, so would fit any farm scene after World War II.

@RonsTrainsNThings 10 ай бұрын

Yes, I agree, it could, especially in N scale. M-TA is just what the label reads on the kit.👍🏼

@thomasdecker7631 10 ай бұрын

@@RonsTrainsNThings Yes, I think the only external difference was the torque amplifier lever, kind of a shift on the fly low range. I don't know much about how it worked, but was told you couldn't let the tractor roll backwards with it engaged, The M-TA was the first Farmall to feature it.

Some of the cast metal kits have exceptional detail, but I’ve always been frustrated by the difficulty in gluing up the pieces. I actually just recently finished a GHQ crawler crane that I started probably 15 years ago, but put away in a drawer because I was so disappointed in my inability to find an effective glue!

@markarnold8160 10 ай бұрын

I would have painted first before putting together. Did you consider that Ron, or was there a good reason for not painting first? Great tractor anyway.

@RonsTrainsNThings 10 ай бұрын

Mostly I didn't want paint on the glue locations, but also this one was easy to paint after, so it worked out.

Like always another good video. Today I have a question for you in regards to your turnouts. I think I’m gonna use your method. I just need to know if. I added (Atlas 2056 code 55 cured turnout ln-n scale) Somewhere in that curve so I can use the right hand turn out and make it go straight. To another layout that doesn’t exist yet.i hope that makes sense. Thanks Ron.
